I wasn't going to write anything this post. BUT something happened today.

Grocery store checkout line.
Nice lady with gray hair, a tiny bit scraggly and unkept, just a tiny bit.
Naomi: "MOM, is dat a WITCH?"
Me: What? Look! Where is the bread? Naomi look at Cache, do you like ponies?(desperate to distract her.)
Nay: MOM!!! is DAT a witch? (over and over and pointing)
Me:*panic* (IN a Loud voice so the checker could hear) OH, a sandWHICH? Yes YOU want a sandwhich. Yup we are going to make a sandwhich with that bread you're pointing at.
Nay: (scowling)-"Dats not what I talkin bout."
Me: shhhsh. Be quiet.

So I've started drinking bottled water and only feeding him bottled water.

And they are a lot better.

Gage may be the smiliest baby ever.

He is so happy.

He likes anyone that will hold him and talk to him.

But don't set him down and walk away or you'll hear about it for at least 20 minutes after.

Easily offended.

Wants to be held constantly.

But if that's all it takes to make the child happy... I'll take it.

We finally made it to my Nick and Sarah's house.

Danny. oH Danny. He loved his cousin.

Which is good considering they are basically betrothed to be best friends.
Isn't that the case with sister's children?

They have to be so they can entertain each other while their mom's do sister things.

Like watch the Royal wedding live at 3 am.

Wasn't it lovely?

Danny showed his love by cuddling with Gage from the moment we walked in.

So cute.

He could have cared less that his Aunt Amie was there.

But he sat on Devin's head.
You can call it Danny's stamp of approval.
If he likes you he tries to sit on you.
And if he REALLY likes you.
He'll aim for you head.

Never thought I would be jealous of someone else getting their head sat on.

We all have our own language of love I guess.

We attempted to take Danny's and Gage's first picture as a couple.

NOT and easy task.

at all.

But I had fun watching Sarah try.

and try.

Grooming..

We finally settled for this one...

Devin took a test to have his licence in Oregon. (Reason for the trip)

Sarah and I had some shopping plans...but

after just one short car ride with both baby boys crying all the way home,

We canceled all plans that week that required driving for the rest of the week.

Thank you so much Nick and Sarah for letting us visit!

Grandma kept Cache and Naomi busy working in the yard, and garden, spreading bark, brushing horses and donkies, chasing kitties and dogs, swinging and trampoline, and playhouse, going to a concert and eating lots of yummy meals.

When we came in to pick them up Cache gave us a look like "Oh NO, not yet!"

They love it there so much and Grandma and Grandpa take such good care of them.

Like to look

My Mantra:

"As you create ahome, don't get distracted with a lot of things that have no meaning for youor your family. Don't dwell on your failures,but think of your successes. Have joy in your home. Have joy in your children. Have joy in your husband. Be grateful for the journey."
